Tunisia Exporters Face Higher Shipping Fees in October

Danish shipping company Maersk, one of the largest shipping companies in the world, has announced the implementation of an additional peak season surcharge of $250 per container departing from Mediterranean West ports toward the U.S. and Canadian markets, starting from November 1, 2026. This surcharge will apply to containers of 20, 40, and 45 feet, including refrigerated containers. This increase will impact the costs for Tunisian exporters who rely on maritime shipping to North America, especially as shipping costs have significantly risen when transporting hundreds of containers. It threatens the competitiveness of Tunisian products, particularly agricultural and food items, and makes it more difficult to expand into international markets. The overall rise in transportation costs affects profit margins and the ability to pass costs on to buyers.
